R56 Bonnet

[Mon the fish]

Just a thought - I hate the idea of having a fake bonnet scoop, and since there's no intercooler on top of the engine, would a Cooper bonnet fit an S? I think it probably would!

Anyone seen this done? Or do I live in my own daft little fantasy world? :D

[FergusM]

expensive way to get rid of the dummy vent.... Although, you might get someone with a Cooper that would give you a straight swap ?

...though I do agree they should have dumped it as it is not used.

I don't have an R56, perfectly happy with my S Works (which doesn't rattle or sound like a diesel :p)

I don't think I will get an R56, I was just having one of those 'what if?' moments I get from time to time :D

[illegalhunter]

the bonnets are completely different

I always found it a bit hilarious, reminds me of those boy racers that kick about with Evo bonnets, impreza scoops, vents etc all over their cars (usually 1.2 litre corsas) when they don't even do anything lol :D

Yeah. What he said!

Fergus, we are hoping to pick ours up at the end of May/beginning of June, and I'm sure ours won't rattle/have any v-polly-alternator/diesel sounding problems whatsoever.

ah, if only I had waited.....:(

The diesel noise has not officially been recognised as a fault by MINI so I doubt if they are working on a fix for it... Deerslayer, is that what they are looking into with yours ?

Well our R56 S is the dogs danglies, na na na nana to all who dont:p .
The low down grumble is now away after it had a new v-pully belt and alternator fitted on Friday , no engine noises just fast fast fast, just ask Elfman he'll know what I mean;)
slap for Mr Sweeney, compair a S R56 to a Corsa:eek: :p , uttering the word Vauxhall should be punishable to the extent of the gallows:o

[Sweeney]

Well it is just as good as haha, hmm lets stick a vent here, scoop there... dont add any power, dont aid anything, just there to look *good* its daft! :D :p

just found out its use! Fly n' wasp catcher! :D lol!

[N12 JLK]

Just look at the pics under our posts youve gotta say it looks nice:) , lets just say it looks like a big grin and says lets have a race, eh Elfman

[Sweeney]

i actually dont like how they look, look too soft, spongy, bulky and have a health+safety vibe to them :(

even with the JCW kit it still looks odd to me, although why they decided to put *fake* vents on the bumpers i don't know, could easily have put proper ones with a use :rolleyes:
